RAPIDROID RELOADED: October-2016

Here's another list including only one engine update but much more games than the previous release. After 21781 games Rapidroid is finally seeing error margins of +/-30 ELO, a level quite acceptable for a non-cumulative testing process which trashes a lot of games with each engine update.

This release is delayed just because of my professional duties leaving too little time to deal with the huge (for me) database. I hope the next one will not be late and will be much more interesting thanks to new builds compiled by Aprijal Pasaribu.

Regarding the ranking, there's nothing special in through the stable phase: Komodo and Stockfish are so dominant and so close to each other that we can't speak about any superiority. They are both high above all others and will remain the same until something like a Houdini 5 for Android comes to kick the reigning toppers.

The highlights of this release:

* UPDATED Ethereal 7.70 to 7.78 (2339 ELO!)

Targets for next release:

* ADD Nemorino 1.02

* UPDATE Arasan 18.3 to 19.1.AP

* UPDATE Laser 0.2 beta to 1.3beta.AP

* UPDATE Sayuri 2016.04.09 to 2016.07.10.AP

* UPDATE Sting 4.8.4.JA to 7.3.AP

* UPDATE Stockfish 2016.07.16 to 2016.10.03.AP

* REVERT Texel 1.06 to 1.06a48.AP (showed way stronger in self played match)
